That was great. Thank you very much

As a moderately informed person, former nurse, health enthusiast, and a person who is actively involved and responsible for their own care, finding a rheumatologist that has availability in the next 12 months is hard. Full-stop. More challenging: finding one who specializes in your specific sub-specialty. Nearly impossible: finding a rheumatologist subspecialist whose philosophy and treatment approach align with one's own. While paid-for and nearly meaningless listicles offer a starting point, we need better information to make finding the right provider easier for patients. I was sort of hoping- based on the title- this video was going to offer a helpful perspective. But alas, the research and trial and error continue.

I finally found someone who recently moved to my area. He was so rude and disparaging I nearly climbed out the window when he left the room for a minute! Then he wrote a secret consult note that mocked me. My husband is an Internist with 40 years experience and hit the ceiling, wants to report him to the medical board. Keeping notes secret from patients is against the law. Meanwhile it got sent to everyone but me.
